Christopher Lloyd: Count Dooku was cut short in his prime!
Count Dooku: Literally died at his 80s
The Dark Side is a pathway to many abilities some consider to be unnatural
He peaked late
Well, compared to how old Lloyd is, maybe Dooku (comparatively) was in his prime, lol.
@@smokeykenobi1653 Yeah, can't old people be in their prime? smh
People live longer in the star wars universe it's in the future and can have upgrades and stuff lol
We need a shirt with Din on it that says "you had me at battle droids". I will pre order that shit.
Yes. Was the only good part of this episode.
Where can I catch you by yourself? Not trying to hear your other friends talk
make one!
language, please! What if kids read your comment!
@@legomattie3295 what about the visuals? the investigators thing? Grogu? The utopic world? The I have Spoken people? The Star Trek bibe? Mandalorians camp? Bo fighting? u just a hater
This season is really living up to the meme video made on the Mandalorian in which he goes on quests for other people all the time and gets nothing in return.
Just endless side quests - he must be low on gas money, which is why he was carpooling with Bo-Katan this mission
What is he looking for in return?
I think he actually came out of this episode with less 😂
I was starting to think it was like watching Witcher 3, where I go on never ending quests that have nothing to do with the main story.
@Mattlife he wasn't wearing his jetpack the whole episode and well, he handed that thing over at the end.
That joke about the nanobots having their own tiny bar 🤣
The Darksaber changing owners after a series of duels reminded me of the Elder Wand changing owners depending on who beat who, regardless of who is wielding it.
Harry winning the Elder wand by snatching a different wand out of someone's hand will never not be stupid 😅
I thought the SAME THING!
The story Din said about losing the Dark Saber wasn’t off screen. It happened earlier in this season when he first went to Mandalore.
But not to the rest of the mandalorians… I think that was what they were saying…
The story arch they were talking about was how Bo lost the Night Owls off screen.
This episode totally felt like some weird side mission from Knights of the Old Republic where you have to track down a rogue droid and it turns out he was reprogrammed by the one that set you on the mission 😂
Blade runner vibes, Mass Effect/RPG side mission vibes, iRobot vibes. Lots of kinda weird vibes, but honestly as whacky as it was I liked it...
I did get vibes of KOTOR 2 from the Mandalorian encampment, but now that you mention it, that's exactly what the whole episode felt like: a fun side-quest breaking up the main plot.
Same here, and lotsa Clone Wars.
Absolutely, a solid mix of influences
It wasn't a bad episode per se, but it felt off during a season that has taken the main plot on a couple different roads.
It was a buddy cop movie ala Lethal Weapon..
I am hoping that Grogu's insatiable hunger is leading to a buried hibernation thing like some sorts of frogs. He sleeps a season in the mud and wakes up as an adult version of the species or something...
Yeah, a hibernation sort of thing could work.
I have thought the same thing! Din wakes up one day and sees Grogu in a chrysalis. Which cracks open later in the season, and an adult comes out
I expect he will create a cocoon or something and then jump out of it as a teen or adult since S1. :D
Next season, at some point, Grogu will speak. After the multi-year gap before season five; Grogu will be a teen.
And turns into a mythosaur
I'm on board with Hector on this. He seems to manage his own expectations much better than most and focus on what is there, and how it really works.
They should just get Ken Burns to make a mockumentary set in-universe about the Clone Wars and the rise of the Empire.
I will die on this hill.
I was waiting for Bo to refer to the super battle droid they were chasing as a "frakking toaster"
Yes! Thank you! LOL
I've never seen Clone Wars and still loved this episode. It was fun and exciting... "you had me at battle droids"
You should watch clone wars its actually pretty good
@@Jv-fn5xgatleast some of the important episodes
I've seen a bit of the Clone Wars but not enough to understand a lot of the stuff. But I still enjoyed this episode. I don't think you need to have watched it to understand it or enjoy it. And people have to understand that you can't have it both ways. And it's always going to be either too much information from previous media or not enough for some people. I'm just going to continue to enjoy Star Wars.
@@kalimaxine Clone Wars is easily the best media of all of Star Wars. It's worth a binge.
@@theaarongarcia Relax it's a silly cartoon. Any live action Star Wars is way better.
Plazir sounds like "plaisir" which is French for pleasure. Seems appropriate for the planet and population's lifestyle.
Oui. That's the idea actually 😂
Well considering “Stewjon” is canonically home of Obiwan because John Stewart asked George Lucas where ObiWan was from, doesn't surprise me
I like that since I got major Greek royalty vibes
basically, this galaxy's version of Risa.
Frankly, I was quite satisfied with the Dark Saber resolution. It's probably one of the few resolutions that makes prefect sense as opposed to some convoluted explanation. I recall a few *cough* past comments along why and who really should be the proper wielder of the Dark Saber. Well, it's Bokatan. Periodt! 😂
Eric's description of the Clone Wars audience being older and more sophisticated now being why Mandalorian should evolve with them perfectly explained why many OG SW fans didn't watch Clone Wars and Rebels in the first place. 13 years ago, we were in our late 30s...
Sidebar, to Hector's point I do indeed know people who never saw Book of Boba Fett and were completely confused by Grogo and Din's reunion prior to the season.
Does this mean we have to say Sir Grogu now?
You are correct sir. Grogu is a little knight with a buckler and chainmail armor under his robes. Give him a vibro-knife 🗡 and it will be sword in his hand.
Only when they are on that planet.i would assume
It was so cool to see my friend Jen Kober as the droid autopsy officer!!!! Go Jen! 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻
Awesome!
OK, here's my take on the chain of succession of the Darksaber. Din was caught in a snare/trap, he wasn't defeated in combat. But, all he needed to tell the Mandalorians was that he was "captured" and that the saber was "taken" from him. Without the details, his story passes the sniff test just enough to justify passing the saber on to the being that captured him, and therefore passing it on to Bo Katan for defeating that creature in actual combat to rescue Din.
Truly, I think Din has been wanting to relieve himself of the burder of that weapon since he earned it, and now he has a good enough reason and opportunity.
Mando being able to talk to them is very reminiscent of the first season where he's shown to be able to talk to several "hostile" peoples on Tattoine in a respectful and useful way, when other characters were stumped or hostile.
Really felt like an RPG quest you are forced into to continue the story. It can be fun, bad, and weird.
"Count Dooku was a visionary!!" (tased)
Did anyone notice the Blade Runner vibes in the Battle Droid chase?
The bit where Din starts kicking the SB droids made me think of those real-life robot videos where the designers start pushing and shoving the robots to demonstrate their mobility...
One observation about Grogu’s and Yoda’s species age. Yoda died roughly around the age of 900. “When 900 years old you reach look as good you will not”-ROTJ. But has been training Jedi for about 800 years. “For 800 years have I trained Jedi”-ESB. We could see Grogu as a master of his abilities in about 50 more years. In that time, he could be talking, fighting effectively, etc by the time we get to the prequel era.
The mando and Droid chase scene felt so much like I robot
I got mad Bladerunner vibes on it, too. Especially the crash through the window!
That's what I was thinking during the chase. Even the way the droid was moving was very reminiscent of the chase in iRobot
My opinion is that this season is the setup for a major conflict next season. There is a mysterious antagonist and an unconventional love story that will bring 2 leaders of Mandalorians together for an epic fall to end the series. Bo and Din bring out the best in each other and have grown in each other's mind. Neither would be where they are without each other. That makes them inseparable.
This episode was a callback to when Cara and Din fought for an indigenous village and one of the female villagers wanted to become family. Din could not be they were not of his kind. (This is NOT the Way!) However, with Bo it can be.
Also, the arc about Din's trust in driods goes back and forth because it is a true struggle. Why would he trust a Separatist Droid when that particular model kill his family. But has enough trust to rebuild IG.
This episode is more complex than what lies on the surface.
Love Story arc doesn't work unless Bo changes heart from Season 2 to Season 3.
Has the Mandalorian become more about what it is to be Mandalorian as opposed to zeroing in on one particular Mandalorian. Din Djarin was our way into their world, he's not the only element of it.
Mandalorian works this season with no big bad. This season is about Mandalorians! That's perfect enough.
I think Captain Hellgate expected the Mandos to hit a dead end when he sent them to talk to the ugnaught, since no one would expect Din to know how to talk to them.
Cutting the speech of Loyd in the middle while talking about Count Dooku and ...that Jedi who decapitated him.
What a bummer...
Episodes like this remind me of Firefly or Star Trek and I love that they're sprinkled in throughout the seasons of Mando and Book of Boba.
26:10 If Grogu can speak, he can recite the Mandalorian Creed. He'll be talking by the end of the season. We also don't know if he's been holding back because of his PTSD or whatnot from the temple tragedies. You can't definitively say he won't be doing something because we don't have any data to compare it to.
At least he'll have a button. 😁 He can tell Din yes and no.
I don’t mind them doing episodes like this if they did more than 8 episodes in a season.
This is the problem i had with fett and kenobi. Story meanders about and then conflict resolution happens quickly then it’s over. Leaves you wanting more. Which I’m sure is by design, and probably not what is intended by the writers. The only thing that’s clear from this season so far is that there will be another season of mando and more spinoffs coming.
I love the callback from I, Robot that Din pulled on the rouge battle droid
This isn’t the first time Christopher Lloyd was been involved with skinny noodle heads like the battle droids he’s been involved with weasels to.
Christopher Loyd gave me Roger Rabit vive.
And Bokatan.... J. Rabbit :)
YASSSS JUDGE DOOM!!
Kinda pissed that the Droid Bar Tender did not tell Din and Bo to get out, they don't serve their kind here.
I want that "Directed by Bryce Dallas Howard" t-shirt
Hey, Nepenthe was also used in Picard. It is the planet with regenerative powers where Riker and his family lived.
Napenthe -- Napthalene. A very hot burning solvent that can dissolve oily residue. Like 80 proof Vodka for a Droid. "When Deisel just ain't doin' it!"
Hector was spot on with most of his comments. Erik. this is Stars Wars not the West Wing.
So glad Hector pointed out the Epcot vibes. Everything he said was literally going through my mind. Someone decided to take Walt Disney's utopian vision and bring it to this whole planet.
when they first got to Plazir-15, it had some serious Magrathea vibes.
This whole arc should’ve just been about Bo’s split from the night owls…
Bo lost the owls.
Some serious Harry Potter Elder Wand logic was used to grant the Darksaber to Bo-Katan
Can we actually talk about how they litERALLY SAID “Apes. Together. Strong.”
WTF
Planet of the apes is canon lol
@@ChrisM-rh8qt “Mandalorians are stronger together!”
“Apes. Together. Strong.”
@petah learn how to laugh.
Chapter 22: The Cameo Episode
I think we had too many super star cameos in one episode.
If the galaxy far far away is about a thousand years ago, Grogu could live long enough to discover earth.
Grogu is a puppet who doesn’t F*cking talk!!!! Might be my favorite line ever said on this channel 😂😂😂
Great Scooby-Doo themed episode with Sir Grogu.
A droid autopsy, should be called a an autotopsy.
Love the dynamic of the panel. Appreciate keeping the conversation light and hilarious
When he started kicking box-carrying robots, I was immediately reminded of those Boston Dynamics videos
Same! I don't have a love of battle or super battle droids either, but when that one was kicked to its knees and then just ran away I actually felt bad for it, lol
it gave me 'I, robot' vibes
This Episode was a fever dream.
They literally went so deep into the Separatists when there was so little about it in the movie. 😅
Bo told Din leave the sport car an get in the RV an go off plante.😂
I feel like what they're trying to show is the different ways different planets govern their citizens so that Bo and the other Mandalorians can figure out how they want to run New Mandalore
This episode felt like a side mission you play in video games. Go from one place to another and progress through your objectives. Loved it
Yes, I liked it and that is why. It felt like something I have done in a video game or playing d&d.
It's interesting that even this many years later the general public don't know the truth behind the Clone Wars and rise of the Empire. The entire separatist movement was a trojan horse within a trojan horse, whereby the Corporations sold to the citizens/politicians of the rebelling planets as them being able to practice their individual cultures values (even those which wouldn't align with the republic constitution such as slavery, caste systems, etc.) and Dooku sold it to the Corporations (Techno Union, Trade Fed, etc) as them getting deregulated and being able to act freely if they helped fund the movement, while all the while Dooku was playing all of them and fully intended for the Separatists to loose the war just as the Republic transitioned into the empire which the sith would be in charge of.
Preach Brah!
I immediately got Disney world vibes too hector when they were in that monorail type transportation 🤣
I live hector. I see a lot of myself in hector, and you can just tell how passionate he is just by listening to him talk
After Andor and coming into this I strongly believe star wars needs to delve deeper into things everyone is able to understand without the deep cuts and everything but still have those deep moments with characters that elevate someone simple into somebody 3 dimensional.
Alright we need David Malstachian playing young Dooku in a Star Wars series. Make it happen, Filoni.
I would watch this!
Din Djarin's journey should be to continue to grow his friendship network. Sort of like a Naruto arc. I only think that because he's a foundling who bonded with a foundling. He also has met friends outside of the religious sect he is apart of.
You guys weren't too hard on the episode your insights and commentary are great more episodes like this
30:50 Funny thing is that my 11 year old brother has watched almost all Star Wars and he didn't grow up with TCW, Rebels, etc
"Great Scott!"
Short answer, yes
I loved how they spent time on Bo and Din arguing about how to handle several different situations in this episode. Until Din's final decision to hand over the Darksaber, I was on the edge of my seat expecting Bo to just snap and challenge him for the Blade this episode.
This episode was really fun, I’m kinda surprised people aren’t picking up on where this story is going. I think next season they need to be more like previous seasons and actually present the conflict to us instead of having us need to piece together clues to figure out what’s going on
Probably why the views for this season have dropped. Ngl I need these types of videos or I’d miss a shit ton of stuff because I haven’t studied every piece of the Star Wars universe.
The flame thrower is against jedi. When they are suprised from the flamethower they jump back so the mando can shoot them
Hector was on fire this week.
I think the series is a bit more broad than you realise. Think of the title Loki. We follow one Loki but we can have episodes about other Lokis. This series is called The Mandalorian. If it were called Din Jarin, or Grogu, we would be a bit upset that we don’t follow these characters. But it’s called The Mandalorian, and I’d expect it to be about the Mandalorian people and their story.
Just something to consider.
Then it would be called The Mandalorians
Hm, yeah. The Mandalorian could be plural.
If Din isn't the titular Mandalorian then maybe the subtitles should stop using "The Mandalorian" for Din's dialogue.
@@Wizard_Level_1 I don't think you know Grammer, we call them the Romans not the Roman
Nobody watches it for "other Mandalorians". The reason why it was so successful was the wholesome relationship between Din and Grogu. Nobody cares about some space Karen who just stopped karening recently.
I love hector shirt so much
Doc brown got hit with 1.21 gigawatts
Was like I-Robot meets Alice in Wonderland! 😵
They need to give Grogu something to do!
I’ll admit I started watching The Mandalorian only because of Pedro. I had seen the original trilogy ages ago and I don’t think I ever finished the ones with Rey/Kylo. I ended up really enjoying Mandalorian and now watch it weekly. I think because it is my primary Star Wars media that’s why I’ve liked it so much; I don’t have all the other stories conflicting. I did watch eps 5-7 for Boba Fett since I knew it was related to Mandalorian but I wouldn’t have otherwise. I dunno, I guess my simple/passive experience with the Star Wars lore at large has been a benefit when it comes to enjoying Mandalorian. I’ve liked all the episodes. 🤷♀️
Maybe Grogu's species has huge growth spurts. 😆
and at some point turn into mythasours
"Why aren't they challenging the children of the watch" .... Patience young padawan
I think this whole season will be setting up the next season and other shows with very little to do with the Mando and grogu
Djin’s explanation makes perfect sense actually. If it didn’t work that way by All rights the dark saber should be Ashoka’s. He lost possession and Bo saved him with it
I expected them to pull a Roger Rabbit and have Christopher Lloyd turn out to be a droid.
It was a completely ridiculous "side quest" episode - but, it was surprisingly entertained by it.
Love seeing Hector again! The dog walker bit made me lol as welll
Can someone explain to my why it feels like Din and Grogu are sub characters now?
I really hope Plazir 15 have their own version of the French Revolution with the droids. Definitely had a blade runner type of feel during the chase.
I really hope this season wraps up with just the build up of a third faction to rise against Bo katan and Din jarin and have them explain more season 4 than just bringing back Moff Gideon and having a 2 episode finale
Favorite reference from this episode isn’t even from Star Wars but from Jack Black’s Tenacious D.
In the song “City Hall”, the D are elected leaders of the rebuilding process and lead as Two Kings. Their 2nd decree is that there will be no more pollution or car exhaust, and that everyone will travel in tubes. Just like Mando and Bo-Katan did.
"Way" will be Grogu's first word
Calling it now
I know that Bo had to win the fight in the end by herself, but part of me was hoping Grogu would help his "mom" and the bonding would be complete.
I thought about that too. But I think Bo would consider that dishonorable
I didn't think it was possible, but I just saw a video of a squid trying to mate with a cuttlefish, so maybe the interspecies romance from the beginning of the episode is not as far-fetched as I assumed while watching it. Who knew you could learn things watching Star Wars?
:D
I didn't knew that, interesting! Love squids and octopusses ❤
I posted Epcot 2 on another review hours ago. Yeah. It’s so true. Looks like Logan’s Run meets Epcot. The cameos were interesting. I would have loved to hear: “Your humans, we don’t serve your kind here” or something like the original episode 4.
I was WAITING for that 🤣
I need a “Dooku was right” mug and T-shirt.
The seps had a noble cause and the parliament weren’t bad people. Dooku and the council on the other hand complicated things.
What if Grogu was frozen in Amber for a decade or two by the empire and that’s why his memory has such a big lapse of time. And he will age faster now that he’s unfrozen
I predict that Grogu is a clone of the Jedi youngling original and that he will age faster than usual much like the clone army.
The episode was good, I enjoy the pace. The idea that people would want to live in a perpetual indulgence is ridiculous. After a little while, people find something that they don’t have and start working towards that.
R2-d2 has the most side quests in Star Wars 😂
Lol😂
Awesome 'The Room' quote! lol
Nice trio. Very good discussion. I appreciate the work you do 👍
This episode felt like a Scooby-Doo episode. Definitely a side quest.
When I saw the droids the look like R2 and 3PO I thought it looked like them if they were in tuxedos to serve drinks at a fancy gala lol
